The SunChamber™

A Sealed Geothermal Greenhouse

Powered by the Sun, the Earth, and Data. The SunChamber™ is more than a greenhouse. It is a holistic system, a completely sealed grow environment characterized by its climate control capabilities.

*The SunChamber™ is defined by its systems and sealed environment. Choosing a layout will depend on engineering, site considerations, climate, budget, etc.

What is Included in the SunChamber™?

The Ceres Holistic Solution

Why Should I Consider A SunChamber™?

What Are The Benefits?

Highest Quality

Up to 50% more value per pound of flower than the average market value due to the high quality of product

Higher Yields

Expected yields of 60g per square foot of canopy space per harvest of dried flower

Increased Terpenes

Terpene and phytocannabnoid levels higher due to greater light transmission (including UV), and a consistent environment

Low Energy Costs

Energy costs as low as $4.20/sq ft/year which translates to $.02 per gram (the average cost of $.30 - $/50 per gram)

Why Should I Care About Biosecurity?

  • Air Treatment: Circulating are gets filtered and treated as part of the EcoLoop™/EcoPack™
  • Self Cleaning: A cleaning solution can be applied to every SunChamber™ after harvest via the include misting mechanism
  • Quality Materials: All materials and construction details focus on a non porous, easy to clean and long lasting environment
  • Lower Risk of Crop Failure: From pest pressure, mold, etc.

SunChamber™ FAQs

The SunChamber™ is a completely sealed Ceres Grow Facility with the EcoLoop™ geothermal HVAC system or EcoPack™ system, and the Ceres SunSense™ controller. The SunChamber™ combines the high light intensity of a greenhouse with the maximum control of an indoor grow, allowing for maximum quality yields.

For materials alone (building structure, EcoLoop™/EcoPack™, lighting, controls, rolling benches, fertigation, water treatment, air treat and grow systems) we estimate between $210-$260/sqft. These costs are prior to incentives and rebates that might be offered by your utility company for the SunChamber™.

ETFE is a great material in all earthquake prone areas since it cannot break or shatter. 

ETFE is also a great option for all buildings where complex building forms or shapes are desired.

Below is a conservative estimate for yields in a sealed SunChamber™ facility for a year (not including corridors, headhouse space, or mechanical sheds). Additionally, growing technique and cultivars grown will affect yield.

  • >60g / SF / harvest of plant canopy
  • 4000 SF GH has about 3000 SF of plant canopy
  • 4000 SF GH = 2000 lbs / YR (conservative estimate, most clients see closer to 2,400 on average)

Yes. Expansion is possible just as every other Ceres facility.  If you are thinking about future expansion it is advisable to notify Ceres from the onset so that our engineers can plan for sizing for full expansion for water systems, fertigation, and electrical.  We do the engineering for the full build from the beginning, that way we never have to backtrack if there is a decision to expand, saving time and money.

The SunChamber™ requires three-phase power in order to power some of the systems and to save power consumption. It is possible to run this system off-grid and the Ceres team will be able to help with the design of the power supply system.
